positive BEHAVIOUR management

FUN    INSPIRING    PRACTICAL    INFORMATIVE

Our seminars are different. We provide you with practical, whole school and individual behaviour management strategies that link positive psychology with emotional education to enable schools to create consistent, predictable, nurturing and high expectation cultures.

These strategies and skills can be applied to all students – special education, mainstream, primary and secondary.

Adults can personally benefit too!

We also offer a personally tailored consultancy service to schools that are experiencing issues (from mild to “help get me outta here”) with students’ behaviour or are just wishing to fine tune their behaviour management practices.

We make a positive difference to the lives of children, their parents and teachers.

 

My signature course, Positive Behaviour Management (sometimes called Taming the Behaviour Monster), was NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) accredited. However ALL NESA courses were cancelled in 2020 pending a review of all professional learning (PL) providers. I will apply for NESA registration again. My average mark from the over 1400 people who have attended the course is 4.54 out of 5.

In the meantime, completing Positive Behaviour Management will contribute 5 hours and 30 minutes of teacher identified PL addressing standards 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3.2 and 4.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

Our next event is in Kiama, NSW.

2024 – England

London – I’m aiming to hold this in the July school holidays.

Behaviour, Learning and Cultural Immersion. London 2024 (well, it was to be in 2021. Bloody covid.)

Read what a participant thought of our last two overseas events:

“My trips with BehaveAbility in Cambodia were some of the most satisfying and stimulating professional learning experiences I have ever had. I loved the people, the seminars, the schools and the children.  I grew as a professional and as a human being because of these conferences. A fantastic experience.”
Tiffany Mahon
Deputy Principal
Namadgi School ACT

WOW! What an amazing experience we’ve had so far on our two overseas Luxury Learning Vacations in Cambodia. Our next overseas adventure will be in London 2024 during the July school holidays. This event promises to be an extraordinary experience and will coincide with the European conference held by CPI (Crisis Prevention Institute). CPI is the parent company of MAPA Training, which is the NSW DET approved PL for managing physical aggression in schools. At the moment I am working on exact dates, venues and agenda. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
